Three more big team maps -- and they all look practically the same. I don't care what the trailer says about their size, if it's big enough to have a Warthog in it, it's not a small to medium sized map. Whatever.

I never understood "small to mid-sized". Is it small, or is it mid-sized?
Plus side is that maybe people will finally choose a big map besides Ragnarok, down side is that there isn't anything to keep people from picking Haven in the smaller games. Also, ditto on the samey look of the maps. Lots of browns and greens.
I'll be too congested with Dragonborn and Far Cry 3 when I finally get around to playing games again, so I'll let the rest of you test drive them.

They did that for Reach briefly too. Once those playlists were removed in favor of keeping the population concentrated, I never saw a single DLC map ever again. Until I hear that 343i has actually thought out a solution for that situation, I'll remain every bit as reserved as I am right now.

I HATE multiplayer achievements. But what are you supposed to do when the DLC is multiplayer only?

Here's a video of CTF on Harvest. It looks pretty damn good, I really like the Warthog ramps and the ring on the outside of the map. The interiors aren't narrow hallways, and the encounters generally remind me of The Pit which is a good thing.

"Special Delivery" is definitely going to be a massive ball ache. A couple of them like "David and Goliath" and "Pump Yer Brakes" will probably be unlocked within the first game or 2 of BTB as it`s always on Ragnarok. EDIT: Unless they are map specific...
I generally tend to dislike MP achievements too as most people just boost them anyway.

I've changed my mind - the Harvest and Shatter videos looked fun enough that I'll likely end up plunking down for the map packs. With that said, I am 100% serious: if these DLC maps are as poorly integrated into Matchmaking as they were in Halo Reach, the temper tantrum I throw will be legendary. I'm talking Cuse rants of yore caliber vitriol.
